The obsidian stallion stood still only moving his head to look around at the new home they have just been brought too. He breathed a gentle sigh; and closed his eyes for a moment. It was a sigh of relief- grateful he could sleep without worry and not have to outrun the devils wolves. Fate had played a heavy wager in the soldier’s life- and now here he stood. He was alive and breathing; the blood that flows through his veins were that of his mother and father. He had become their dream, their desires- twisted and mended into the mindset that he was truly evil. Though over the years he had truly discovered himself; in his younger years, if he came upon any other animal that wasn’t a Unicorn he would instantly think them unworthy to walk the earth they stood upon. He thought they were abominations, they were useless to him, weak and gullible. Though with his time in the Mystic Woodlands, for the first time the demon had shed his ice heart, and fallen for the Queen of Lightning. For the first time, he was full of devotion and dedication not only to her, but to his home..

Reflecting on that thought, it felt as if it had been hours in his mind- though only mere moments. Audits lazed slowly forth as he tuned out the conversation between Lace and his daughter. His heart sank, if but for a moment at the thought of his Queen and what had become of her. His stomach ached at the thought she was never coming home again. Lazily, he rested his eyes upon his daughter. As if an etched memory; ghost like visions danced around her of Querida. He could almost smell her; and in a daze he breathed out; mist rolling off his lips as rose oculars glazed over before he snapped back into the moment as the other pair’s conversation continued. But his mind didn’t focus on the nearing shadows in the distance; everything seemed to be blurring together; god forbid they see a weakness in him now.. How would they react? If they knew that he was not the Nato they knew him to be? It was rare the beast ever started violence anymore; though he was never afraid to stand his ground should he have too. He had become more noble, more kind dare he say it. Years of bloodshed and war will run a stallion down quickly; he soon discovered he didn’t want that anymore. He just wanted to be Home.

The snapping of twigs cracked in his ears, as they turned to fixate upon the nearing Pegasus. Crimson ovals blink a few times to snap him out of his wandering mind and turn to glace upon the angelic stallion. Snow dipped hoof shifted to the side as he took a step back, slightly alarmed by the approaching stallions. There was another, on the flank of this one. All Nato could remember thinking, is how massive they were; and the black one seemed.. dragon like and had the same gold dusting upon his back as Lace did. Stepping ahead of his daughter, audits turned back slightly as he watched the two with caution. They probably meant no harm, and were on patrol of their home; but Nato had become so used to the caution around others It would be a hard habit to break. As the Pegasus spoke, his tongue was different than others he had listened too before. Giving a gentle bob of his crown to both the masculine stallions in a small greeting; he couldn’t help but gaze to the dragon like Pegasus. He had never seen anything like it before; and was intrigued by his markings. A white dragon painted on his shoulder, or so it seemed. Even the tail of the creature seemed to resemble that of a dragon.

As the blue eyed Pegasus inquired about their names; Nato hesitated for a moment but it wasn’t long before Lace made the introduction of his calling. There was so much conversation going on; it had been so long since he had been in a herd; he would have to adjust to herd life again and all the laws that come with it. As he introduced the names of the warriors before him Nato gave a welcoming nod to both in order of their names. Kaj- the one with the weird native tongue and large wingspan caught his attention for a moment as he mentioned Nato being the leader of the Woodlands. A grin crossed his lips as he turned to the dragon-born stallion; Vikram- a strong warrior indeed with a body like that. "Well met- to the both of you.“ He said deeply, eyes shifting between the two before again resting on the semi-golden eyes of the dragon born. "I must say, these walls are very extraordinary. Brilliantly done.“ He praised the herd before him. The walls defenses offered protection from the elements, from other herds and strangers that were very unwanted it seemed.

As the conversation carried on between the stallions and his daughter; he stood quietly and listened. Talking of the wall- made of glass, and about the Gods that watch over these lands. Nato made note to ask about these Gods later. Were they the ones who destroyed Isilme? The brute shook his head, ruffling his silken ink tresses against his thick nape as he turned to look upon Lace as he talked about the Gods walking here in the lands. A brow was raised, as he thought this just has to be a myth. Why would the Gods of all things come to a place of the mortals? Grinning a little he turned away from the stallion and gazed upon the rest intermittently; watching their facial reactions- their posture. What did they think of him, of his daughter? Mirage; the name flooded his ears as he turned and looked to Lace when he said it. Was it the same black minx that he had come upon in Isilme? What of her sister and brothers; of the forest? He exhaled wondering if she would remember him and the trouble he had caused in her life. Though, he did have a high respect for her father- but she wouldn't know that now would she? Of course not.

Rolling his shoulder, he shifted a haunch into a relaxed position. Crimson pools resting upon the Edge’s landscape. He took a moment to tune out the excitement, and just take in natures song. His hooves could feel the vibrations of others running or playing in the distance. The songs of birds, insects and other woodland creatures danced along the breeze as it mingled in his mane. It was good to be home.

[ooc: I'm so sorry it took so long. I didn't notice it was Nato's turn next. My deepest apologies! <3]
